Report on our meeting 03-04-2025 the first of our shield competitions for 2025.

In charge of competitions for the club is David Hobson, the subject matter for this competition was to make a money box, all 3 categories of members were tasked with the same remit. This was not as easy as it first appears the making of a money box using a lathe requires some considerable consideration, and there were precious few examples on line for you to copy, this was going to be very interesting to see exactly what the members would come up with.
